Thu, 02 May 2013 08:44:05 +0000jonnyb19724944270@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I was choosing between this and the T129s, I chose the Whyte as Evans would not give me a proper Demo, and I got it for £1800 which was a grand cheaper than the Norco £2800 RRP. It is a lovely bike, if Evans would have given me a Demo I may well have bought it.

Thu, 02 May 2013 08:04:30 +0000dibboid4944166@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Nice bike, is there a new trend of stashing bits of paper in the spokes and cables that I've missed? Please say the reflectors and the rear spoke guard thingy is going?!<br />
When I ordered my bike I told the lbs not to for the reflectors and the bell to save me the bother of taking them straight off when I got home. I said it's a waste of both of our time. Lol

<p>Rorschach - I despair. The vein of snide bitterness running through STW puts a lot of people (including me) off.

<p>Norco's trail bikes do look like they'd be fun to ride now.

Was this part of your buying rationale?<br />
If the response was negative would you consider changing it?<br />
Take the bloomin' price ticket off!

<p>Depends on what sort of riding you do! I need all my chainrings on a regular basis. I <em>could</em> stand on the pedals and sweat and swear to the top of steep climbs, and sometimes I do. But other times, it's nice to sit and grind up the gradient.</p>
<p>Similarly, I join up bits of singletrack on road and prefer to get the tarmac out the way as swiftly as possible.</p>
<p>Horses, courses I suppose.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh, nice bike btw!

<p>I think the price was a big factor as it shaved a few hundred off my spend limit but also the 29er wheels on the others was not for me. Close second place was the Cube (another 650b) but triple chainrings seem pointless these days.
